Property description
Turning in through the walled gateway the impressive this property is spread out before you. This beautiful modern property nestles in just under an acre of grounds surrounded on one side by adjacent fields with distant views across Whitstable to the sea. Once across the threshold you can fully appreciate the extremely high quality of the fixtures and fittings from the oak doors and windows to the porcelain tiles with under floor heating. Nothing has been left to chance and this detail is illustrated from the moment you see the spacious and welcoming entrance hall with its imposing split staircase, leading to the charming galleried landing and splendid cathedral window.
The hub of the house is the vast open plan living area and where members of the family will spend much of their time. This includes a magnificent bespoke fitted kitchen with a central island and breakfast bar as well as a range cooker, American fridge/freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler. There is a good sized dining area and a relaxed family area with bi-folding doors to the terrace. For more formal occasions there is a large and elegant lounge next door to a substantial study that could be used as a separate dining room if required – making an excellent entertainment space. Both these rooms also have a wall of bi-folding doors to the terrace so on warmer days you can open them to give the feeling of the outdoors coming indoors or wander outside to sit in the sunshine and enjoy a barbecue. The easy to maintain garden is mostly laid to lawn and leads to a small wooded area with some impressive trees.
The ground floor also includes a utility room adjacent to the kitchen, storage facilities and a formal dining room. This could also be used as a games / play room for children or even a bedroom as it is next door to a wet room. This could be very helpful if you had elderly friends or relatives who found the stairs difficult. Upstairs there are five double bedrooms and three bathrooms including the master with its en suite bathroom and balcony where you can relax with your morning coffee looking at the lovely views.
In addition there is a separate annex with a fitted kitchen/dining room, a private terrace and garden area. Upstairs there is a lounge through to the bedroom and a shower room so would make an ideal home for adult children, other family members or staff. This complex also includes three garages and a wood store and leads to the vast driveway where there is plenty of space to park.
What the Owner says:
We have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of building a brand new, beautiful, modern family home and have tried to ensure that it has been constructed to the very highest standard and hope the next owners will appreciate living in it as much as we have enjoyed creating it. It has been built to comply with the Level 4 Code for Sustainable Homes and includes two wood burners that provide most of the heating needed to keep the house warm, so it is quite inexpensive to run. It also has the remainder of the 10 year NHBC warranty.
We love the peaceful surroundings and our grandson is always keen to feed the horses next door. It is a very safe and secure area as we are virtually at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a semi rural area – in addition to the fact that we have installed security lighting, intruder alarm and video entry systems as well as wireless CCTV cameras.
Although we live in a rural area, we are only a short distance from the Thanet Way for London as well as Whitstable and Canterbury for shops, entertainment and schools. For golfing enthusiasts the Chestfield Golf club is just a mile away and if you want to enjoy a drink and a pleasant meal the 14th century Chestfield Barn is a delight. The village is very friendly and nearby Swalecliffe includes a variety of local shops such as a convenience store, hairdressers, pharmacy and dentist and it is not far to a large Sainsbury's and the Chestfield and Swalecliffe station.
